ABCD Upcoming Events

Join us for our December 2022 Story Sharing Session
Using an ABCD Lens in a Community Based Service Learning Course: ABCD & Skill Building—When Communities Know What To Do and You Know How To Do

Tuesday, Dec. 13, 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Description
: Technical skills-focused courses can struggle to connect with communities in an asset-based, rather than a deficit-based, way. There is often an impulse to do for, instead of with, or to write off the possibility of community engagement due to time limitations. However, this need not be so! Presenter Dr. Samantha Close shares examples drawn from her years of teaching the Introduction to Digital Media Skills, a project-based community service learning course at DePaul University. Chiarra Lohr brings the community partner side of the equation, speaking from her experiences working with Close's course.
Presenters:
Samantha Close, Assistant Professor of Communication and Media Studies, DePaul University
Chiarra Lohr, Interim Secretary-Treasurer of the Indie Sellers Guild
Facilitator: 
Helen Damon-Moore, Associate Director, Steans Center, DePaul University
